Agreed. But I really didn't get a chance to look in the boot. But I think the regular MX-5 has a “dedicated” storage space behind the seats for the cloth top to fold into, that doesn’t really affect the boot. If that’s the case with the hard top folder, it seems like a lot of wasted space with the top up.
My sister is looking at getting the new G6 (GT preferably) with the folding hard top. Looking at that car's boot I was surprised at how much space still remains even with the top down. Problem is you probably don’t want to load up the trunk, then fold the top away, because the back wall expands with the top down and you might break something.
Other than the added security I really don't see any advantage to the hard top.

Problem with those things is that they take up a LOT of space which could be used for luggage or groceries.

Not true, it folds up into the same space as the soft top.

The hard top does not take up any more trunk space than the convertible, fits in the same space and it goes up or down in 12 seconds. It is a really neat piece of kit. I had one for a week last September, and really liked it. A lot of fun to drive, if I did not already have the Lotus, I would consider buying one
